SHOWBZ drug dealer and significant player in the Fat Freddie Thompson gang has lodged a court bid to stop his stash of gold bars, a house and €10,000 in cash being seized.
Promoter and DJ Adam Keatinge turned up at High Court hearing this week where the Criminal Assets Bureau was due to seek an order to take possession of the property.
The convicted drug dealer said he had “fired” his solicitor and was now representing himself, adding that he has lodged an appeal against a court decision deeming the property the proceeds of crime.
Last November Judge Alex Owens ruled in favour of CAB granting orders being sought that the gold, cash and the Co Kildare property were the proceeds of crime.
Keatinge had denied the allegations in the CAB case despite his previous arrest and conviction after being caught with a kilo of cocaine.
This week he asked the judge if there was now a stay on the case to have his home in Ellistown, Co Kildare being seized until the Court of Appeal had dealt with his case.
